'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald': Is a romance with Nagini the reason Ezra Miller's Credence was kept alive?

Come to think of it, both of them had been chided away from using their magical powers - helping the whole 'Nagini is a human' subplot make so much more sense now

On the brink of the release of this year's pivotal Harry Potter franchise film, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' (Fantastic Beasts 2), here's one thing we know for sure - regardless of what fate might have in store for Ezra Miller's character, Credence Barebone, it's a guarantee that he, in all his Obscurial glory, has survived the end of the first movie, aka 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' (Fantastic Beasts 1).

But that wasn't always the case, right? At the end of 'Fantastic Beasts 1', fans were left really confused about the fate of the character - so much that certain fan theories insisted it was the end for Credence. But here in 'Fantastic Beasts 2', he is alive and waging a rebellion with his other magical accomplices, a certain Nagini playing an active role in all of that too. And that brings us to the burning question - Was Credence kept alive only for a prospective romance with Nagini?
